but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:

OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT

Virtualization: #Proxmox

Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU

Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN

Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

@purpleidea the unannounced changes to services people are actually using is by far the worst part of the #voipms experience

@vfrmedia I tried to set out doing a PBX for myself once and my brain just could not handle the learning curve with the degree of sensory overload I experience in daily life at the moment

one thing that's nice about #voipms, you can set up a ton of PBX-ish functions in their web panel ... what I need, I think (hope?) is a device whose one job it is to take phone calls, which doesn't have other stuff going on (such as being viewed by Android as just another app to be managed) ... it really was such a decline when native SIP calling functionality was stripped from Android/Lineage
